Issues: Whether the assessee was entitled to replantation allowance under Rule 3(1) of the Kerala Agricultural Income Tax Rules, 1991 when the same benefit had already been claimed under Rule 7A(2) of the Income-tax Rules, 1962 in computing income for the relevant year.
Analysis: Section 5 of the Kerala Agricultural Income Tax Act, 1991 permits deductions in the computation of agricultural income, including replantation allowance subject to the limits and conditions prescribed under the Rules. Rule 3(1) of the Kerala Agricultural Income Tax Rules, 1991 restricts the allowance to actual expenses incurred during the previous year and, in the case of rubber, to 2.5% of the agricultural income. The assessee had already availed the corresponding allowance under the Income-tax regime while computing its income from manufacture of rubber. Once the same benefit had been claimed under one statutory regime, it could not again be claimed under the agricultural income tax provisions, as that would amount to duplication of the same allowance.
Conclusion: The claim for replantation allowance under the Kerala Agricultural Income Tax Act and Rules was not sustainable and was rightly disallowed.
Ratio Decidendi: A deduction or allowance that has already been claimed under one statutory scheme cannot be claimed again under another scheme for the same expenditure, where such double benefit is not authorised by law.
